Palpable but just out of definition,
Always just beneath the radar
Intensifying then receding
Never revealing its origin.

dissonance, a haiku

square peg meets round hole
too long I've tried to force it
maybe I don't fit

I filled my silos with regret
Sustained myself on bitter bile
Drawn from stores of malcontent
In my keep, I kept my smile

Received my first acceptance of the year today 🎉

I hadn’t submitted any work in a while and sharing my words felt Daunting. I’m happy two poems will now have a home (in June and July of this year).
